i cant really say for sure. alot of things come into play at the strip: driver ability, tune of the engine, etc.

i can give you an example. my 84' Z28 has the same motor and tranny as your car and ran 16.2s at 85mph on a cold day. i then removed the airbox (simulating an open elemet filter) and went 16.0. however, ive got alot of track experience, and if this is your first time at the strip, itll be hard for you to get those numbers out of an LG4

I have to say you'll be running mid 16's, maybe low 16's if you get a really good 60' time. But like everyone said, it depends on the tune and shape of the engine and driver ability.
